Since our report last week, “Next steps under open payments,” the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has released additional information on the time frame for registration on CMS’ Enterprise Portal for physicians and teaching hospitals. On June 1, physicians and teaching hospital representatives will be able to register on the portal. This registration process is required if a physician or teaching hospital would like the ability to review, correct or dispute any of the data submitted about them. For additional information, visit CMS’ Open Payments page.

NOTICE.
Although we would like to hear from you, we cannot represent you until we know that
doing so will not create a conflict of interest. Also, we cannot treat unsolicited
information as confidential. Accordingly, please do not send us any information
about any matter that may involve you until you receive a written statement from
us that we represent you (an ‘engagement letter’).

By clicking the ‘ACCEPT’ button, you agree that we may review any information you
transmit to us. You recognize that our review of your information, even if you submitted
it in a good faith effort to retain us, and, further, even if you consider it confidential,
does not preclude us from representing another client directly adverse to you, even
in a matter where that information could and will be used against you. Please click
the ‘ACCEPT’ button if you understand and accept the foregoing statement and wish
to proceed.
